We absolutely loved our stay at Colditz Castle and the staff were very helpful - they even arranged for us to have breakfast half an hour earlier than it officially opened. The bathroom smelled a little of drains but everything else was perfect and frankly, who can pass up the opportunity to stay in Colditz Castle?!

Rooms are very clean and secure. Fantastic to be able to stay inside the castle itself (not that you'd know it once you're in the hostel). So a great place to stay if you have come to visit the castle. Not that there is any choice of hostels nearby!

After watching the film & reading the books could not miss the opportunity to stay at the castle. I was lucky enough to have the entire castle to myself for the night (bit creepy). Public transport very easy to the village from Dresden/Leipzig. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in history or wants an opportunity to spend a night or two in a castle in a beautiful area.
